  At a glance, it looks like a lightweight vector database running on top of low-cost object storage—at a price point that is clearly attractive compared to many dedicated vector database solutions.
They also didn’t mention LanceDB, which fits this description but with an open source component: https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/

This may be because LanceDB is the most attractive with a price point of standard S3 storage ($0.023/GB vs $0.06/GB). I also like that Lancedb works with S3 compatible stores, such as Backblaze B2 which is even cheaper (~70% cheaper).
